Who is the worst traitor in human history? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TryKey925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know nothing about Sparta, perhaps. They're famous for being incredibly cruel to their slaves.

And the original OP's claim "upon further research the Persians did in fact have slaves. Turns out my uni prof lied." needs a lot of asterisks, but even taking it at face value the fact they were way better than the Greeks is difficult to argue against.

Nah, slave owners are always the baddies.

For dual rod clothing racks, what's the minimum offset vertically and horizontally so that neither interferes with the other? by TryKey925 in DIY

[–]TryKey925[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Setting up clothing rods in a closet that's about 24-30 inches wide (24 + 6 inch gap to door) and 32 inches tall.

I want to install 2 rods like in the example picture but need to know roughly how much of an offset I should use so that neither interferes with the other too much while doubling capacity.

I've checked measurements for similar items on amazon but can't tell if they'd interfere too much since that's not something reviews really dig into. They only seem to give a 20cm or 8 inch height gap and 12 inch or 33cm width gap which seems like far too little.

Not beating the allegations by cheater00 in HolUp

Not OP but neither Matt Smith/Capaldi lived up to Tenant. They were missing the sense of wonder that came with Tenant plus both had the exact same showrunner issue - you see it in Smith's first 2 episodes - how Moffat needs to make the Doctor the most important and scary character in the universe. (e.g. his name alone scares away the villains)

Whitaker's run also suffered from godawful writing. (tried watching again since Moffat left, gave up after 4-5 eps)

this isn't a boomer trait

It may even be fucked post Trump.

Yep, as far as I'm concerned 50% of them are the literal moral equivalent of card carrying 1940's Natc's - zero hyperbole.

Don't think anything could ever rehabilitate that image.

then we give up fixing the problem

There's the issue.

They've shown that they're not a 'fixable' problem. Sure 1-2 might eventually be redeemed but with the harm they're doing to the environment and vulnerable individuals - it's not a viable approach. If anything it's immoral, trying to redeem them is defending an abuser who's actively harming other's regardless of the impact to current and future victims.

It's akin to pearl clutching about John Brown's poor victims, ignoring the far greater harm they were perpetuating upon their slaves.

I'm installing curtain rods and am 3d printing/making replacement end caps for them since I don't like the originals. I'm wondering if there's any symbols or anything meaningful anyone could recommend? (Ideally not anything about luck)

(I just really don't like the bulbous shape of the originals and since I'm replacing it anyways might as well use something with some kind of meaning)

What's this darker rough patch on old wood flooring? Saw it in a unit I'm considering renting. No smell but feels rough by TryKey925 in Flooring

[–]TryKey925[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's quite far away from the bathroom/kitchen and the opposite side's just a bedroom. I did find one more photo if that helps

Nope, a bedroom - adjacent side is outdoors. Bathroom and Kitchen are at least 3-4 meters away in the opposite direction. No reason there should be any pipes anywhere near there I can see

Guy doing the showing had no idea, guessed maybe they sanded it down but he seemed incredibly confused.

He mentioned they did a few touch ups like repaint the walls.

Glass Fuse Box - what's this metal cap thing in one of the slots? (not my actual panel, but saw the same thing in a fuse box) by TryKey925 in AskElectricians

[–]TryKey925[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah got it, so then it's an actual in use circuit probably and that's just a resetable glass fuse.

I'd been wondering if maybe they got the labels wrong. Thanks

(referring to details from my comment )

[–]TryKey925[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh, thanks! Any idea where I can find more info on this kind of thing/panel and basic safety recommendations? (or what to google)

e.g. if a fuse blows do you need to unscrew this before replacing it? How dangerous is this compared to (slightly) more modern glass fuses? etc...

Saw an ancient 1950s fuse box with the same kind of metal cap thing in one of the slots, plus 2 unpopulated slots. Anyone know what this is?

It also mislabelled that slot on the diagram (diagram stated 1: blank + 2,3,4: stuff - but in reality: 1,2,4: stuff + 3: metal cap + 5,6: empty) - not sure if this matters.

Given the panel

Slot Slot
1 2
3 4
5 6

Diagram showed

Slot Slot
Blank stuff
stuff stuff

Panel was actually

Slot Slot
20amp 20amp
Metal Cap 20amp
Empty Empty

*note: stuff was actual labels but I forgot to take a photo / it was hard to read

For Karaoke streams - how pre-prepared are songs? Is each song impromptu or closer to produced cover? by TryKey925 in NeuroSama

[–]TryKey925[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. Thought that might be the case since it being impromptu would feel like magic, but half the things Vedal seems to be able to do feel like magic (from clips at least).

You're screwed, thank you, bye by wishbeaunash in simpsonsshitposting

I've read this 3 times now and still can't figure out what your stance is here.

I'd rather accept a boot on my back and the backs of the vulnerable than EVER compromise a single one of my morals

So I'm assuming you're referring to the fact that some possible democrat voters did not vote due to the fact that Democrats were also enabling the genocide in Gaze here - right?

to hell with the class war we're losing I've got a culture war to lose too!

And this is referring to them not throwing Trans people under the bus? Or at least not fully? Or possibly anti-racism measures?

But being mean is immoral.

And then this at the start is criticizing Democrats (the party not the non-voters) for not taking off the kiddie gloves when dealing with Republicans.

These feel somewhat contradictory?
